　　As young students，you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize．They can also be small．You may just want to become one of the best students in your class．

　　Once you find a dream，what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

　　“Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Marthews tells us that making our dreams real is 1ife's biggest challenge．

　　You may think you're not very good at some school subjects or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of ideas stop you from getting your dream, the book says．

　　In fact，everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．

　　Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want every day and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is，in fact，many small dreams．

　　You must also never give up your dream．

　　There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results，while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．

　　As you get closer to your dream，it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies．

　　When she turned ten, my daughter decided I was no longer good enough to provide input on anything useful．Then, in high school she took a parenting class．

　　“Mum, I need your idea,” she told me．“What are the skills you need to be a good parent?” she asked, pencil pointed over her homework．

　　Skills? I’d always thought of parenting as requiring patience, understanding and kindness．And I was pretty sure those were characteristics(性格), not skills．

　　“Hang on, I know this one,” I told her, thinking fast．Looking at the wall calendar(日历), I noted that my next seven days included two appointments(约会), 20 minutes each, three forms to hand in at two different schools and a cover for the pool to pick up．“Organizational(组织的)skills,” I answered．“It also helps if you can drive－and have the ability to be in two places at once．”

　　“Got it,” she said．“What else?”

　　I thought about the school year：school fees(学费), class pictures, running shoes．Not to mention weekly shopping－the bill for which was growing as fast as the kids．

　　“Financial(理财的)skills,”I said．“You’ll have to plan your money－especially if you end up with two birthdays in one pay period．You must be good at math, too．”

　　“Money and math make sense,”she said．“Anything more?”

　　“You also need a good memory,”I continued．“At any given time, you may remember birthdays, names of people and who likes apples or who can’t stand grape juice．”

　　I talked and talked．My daughter’s pencil moved quickly as she tried to keep up with what I was saying．Her homework finally finished．My daughter told me about a new parenting-skill project(项目)．“We’re getting dolls programmed to cry from time to time．We have to keep them with us all the time and take care of them．It’s to show us how hard it is to be a parent．”

　　I thought if students would come up with a doll that throws things around and shouts at the top of its voice, that might give them an idea of the patience, understanding and kindness that parenting requires．
